Part 2

Lucy Heartfillia

I turned to Mira the extremely gorgeous Barmaid, "Hey Mira,"

"Hey Lucy, Natsu stay at yours again?" I nodded my head, a deep blush staining my cheeks; nobody keeps it a secret anymore.

Mira noticed and giggled, "You know, Asuka could really use a playmate they might be a few years apart however…" she winked is she implying that in order for Asuka to have a friend I would need to…I shivered in horrification.

If this was anybody but Mira, or Erza I would yell and be tempted to hit them but…

"Mira, I'm afraid of you so I'm just going to act like you coughed up rainbows and butterflies," I exclaimed. I still don't understand why Mira isn't one of Fairy Tail's strongest members out of the already ranked five (Natsu, Laxus, Gajeel, Erza and Gray), the vicious Satan Soul controller. Just the thought gave me nightmares.

We watched as a rejected Juvia ran pass us and into the guild toilets in a mission to clean her sorrow from yet another one of Gray's rejections.

"Look at poor Juvia, she's still crying over the fact Gray doesn't like her back…" Mira said with tears in her eyes, god that news hasn't changed in like…ever.

I scoffed, "Mira, ninety nine percent of my socks are single and they ain't crying," Mira rolled her eyes but softly giggled.

"Nice one girl!" Levy grinned from her table where she sat with Gajeel and Pantherlily.

I grinned, "Thanks Bestie!" I had never had someone quite like Levy, she backs me up in everything, I am proud to have a friend like her and happy that our relationship didn't turn out like our Edolas versions.

I then returned my attention back to Mira who had left and was cleaning after somebody, Kinana was guarding her station whilst cleaning, I sighed before walking over to the inevitable.

The request board.

I have rent due and so I have to make sure I pay it or else my Landlady will lecture me once again.

I studied the missions, bandits'…cliché. Protect a rare gem? Nah…knowing Natsu he'll over do it. Wait-what about? "A vandalism case?" that sounds interesting.

Witnesses to the vandalism of schools have concluded that at fault are a bunch of teenagers. This one definitely caught my eye; I want Natsu to be the one who catches somebody who destroys a building, not be the one to destroy it. This request might better our reputation…

"Mira, can we take this one?" I asked.

She nodded approval before I made my way back to my house.

I walked along the canal before some men told me to watch out, its like they're hoping my balance is always off, and besides I can swim…

As I entered my house my expression changed to horrification, for the whole of team Natsu was gathered inside, Gray and Erza were looking through my draws, Gray already in his underwear, half of Happy's little kitty body was sticking out from underneath my bed and Natsu (fully clothed, thank heavens) was lounging on top of my pink comforter.

They do take make yourself at home too seriously. But that's what makes us unique being comfortable is a natural occurrence between all of us.

I approached them, "Hey guys,"

They sighed boringly, "Hey Luce," , "Yeah Lucy nice to see you," , "Good morning Lucy," , "Hey Lucy," Wendy finished poking her head out from my bathroom having appeared from a short toilet break, Carla followed behind.

"Well I brought back a mission we should do…" they all shrugged and nodded simultaneously even Happy came out of his hiding place.

"Yeah what's it say?" Natsu buried himself in my pillow looking over to me. I don't know why but I liked the sight of him on my bed so comfortable and at ease, its nice reassurance that this house is a home, even to him who is used to being with either Happy or himself; it's the approval I never knew I craved.

"Well, we have to catch vandals who terrorize schools…" they all looked at me.

"That doesn't sound like much of a challenge," Gray edged.

I sighed, "Actually it might, you see…we sort of over do things…"

Natsu perked up, "Yeah but its fun,"

I rolled my eyes, "Natsu, you need to learn self-control we damage too much, we end up losing half the reward we earn because of how much destruction we cause, maybe this would be good practice, easy in and out," I reasoned. Erza stood, swiftly stalking towards me, who began to quiver, "Err…Erza?"

We stood toe to toe, "Normally, I would disagree but this does sound like a rather appealing task. Lucy is right, we do tend to over do our missions and that affects us the most…we should begin to work on this at once," Erza said in such a leader voice and authority.

"So Luce where should we start?"

Okay, I gave them hints as they tried to strategize, from what they had been told there is one school that has not yet been attacked and is closely related to the others.

"So we hide out there, catch them, destroy the-" Erza looked at Natsu disapprovingly.

"We will only catch them, and turn them in, we will have to restrain them with handcuffs if need possible,"

"What if they have powerful magic?" Gray argued.

Erza rolled her eyes, "Then we will find somebody who can place a spell on the shackles that will null an attackers magic," they played back and forth with different scenarios until Erza finally gave into her anger and pulled her sword from her sheath prepared to tear Gray's throat.

I gulp, maybe I should calm the situation, "Erza…maybe we should take a less violent approach," I reasoned but also smelt my own fear.

I breathed silently before lowering her deadly weapon, I grin in achievement, "Thank you Lucy…for calming me down," I shrug, its no biggie, I am used to this Guilds temperament.

Natsu laughed, "You should let them fight…Gray's got that cool trick tha-"

"Natsu, Sweetie, the adults are talking," I interrupted, trying to waver his immaturity.

I stalked through the school with tense legs, it forces me to absolutely regret what I'm wearing at this moment.

Bright pink low cut cropped shirt that allows my cleavage to be more prominent than usual, denim skirt that just hits mid thigh. Don't judge, I have an amazing body and a cute face one must flaunt such greatness!

I walked around aimlessly, we decided to split but unlike me (and I am willing to admit) I am more defenseless. Grey has himself and his awesome Ice Maker magic, and Erza is Erza so…she could beat everyone with both appendages tied and dismantled.

Natsu is a fire dragon but also has Happy, Wendy is also a dragon and has Carla.

And its just me, I should have gotten that blue cat even if the damn thing insults me eighty five percent of the time.

As I thought about, rent, mom and dad or even Michelle I was slowly slipping away from concentration, so it was no exaggeration that I freaked when I heard a hard knock and instantly stood back my heart rate quickening, frightened by the noise, I know I'm terrified of something that might be nothing but I'm alone, usually this is a team effort but apparently the idea that if groups could take them down swiftly; since their just a bunch of hooligans and it averts from damage since there is less magic at play, it becomes a competition if there are more people (Especially with Natsu and Gray).

I rounded another corner, but didn't have enough time to react when suddenly a hand shot out and grabbed my pouch from my hip leaving me without my spirits.

"Hey pretty lady," a voice I could only describe as slimy slithered to my ear.

I turned and reached out to attack them with my whip only to find the man from before studying it himself in interest he grabbed my whip but I wasn't met with just a face, I was met with several faces.

And at the sight of me, they weren't disgusted; in fact they were all pleased to see me and the lack of what I was wearing.

"NATSU!" I screamed as their twisted faces moved in just as their hands reached out and groped me. I heard a flash in the distance and I could make out Loki (Who can pass through the gates without his key) but it was already happening, as the hands pushed and pulled places no man has been before I could only cry out in struggle.

"Relax pretty girl," I reacted with a cry, this was too fast, scared, vared and defenseless these teenagers weren't normal, they had no morals, all self respect…their not human and they're hurting me.

And as I fell back I realized to late that there was no point in fighting back, because they already took all my defenses away, I just have to pray that when Natsu finds me and if he's strong enough, he can fix all this.

"Natsu…help," I whispered resuming my kicking and screaming while hearing them fight in the background.
